Google no longer searches forum

[FranceBB]

It's been a little over a month now, so I think that it was a good time to see where we're now.
Currently, Doom9 has a total of 153'952 topics and a little over 67'000 have been indexed.
This roughly accounts for 43.5% of the forum.
I can see lots of spiders scanning pages constantly including the Google ones, so it looks like it's just gonna be a matter of time before we get more topics back.
Unfortunately I didn't save those statistics before this whole thing happened, so I don't know where we were before in terms of indexing (I mean in 2022), but I think next month is gonna be a good time to get back and assess the situation again.

See you guys in one month.

Solution: stop using Skynet products and services, and switch to the good guy team: Startpage, Qwant, Duckduckgo.

Solution:

Not a solution for the many that do use google, and that is a problem for this site and not for you yourself (or anyone else) as an individual.

Speaking of which, two or three days ago Doom9 suffered another outage for a few hours which I believe led to an IP address change, so Google stopped indexing again for a bit.
I thought Swede was gonna add another line to his logs but this time he didn't.
Speaking of which, it might be time to demand a new picture of the closet ehm I mean server room :P

I've been waiting a few more months and we're slowly but surely getting back to full index (although the sporadic downtimes don't make the process any easier).

Anyway, out of 153'952 we now have 79'200 indexed topics, so around 51.44% of the forum.
